FAIR CONTINUED. Owing to a heavy rain that set inl last evening and still is pouring down, this forenoon, the Fair today will be a failure. On this account the Fair will be continued to Fri- day and Saturday, the entire pro- gram being advanced one day. Ellis Z. Orvis. preside nt of the associa- tion, has authorized this announce- ment. The revival of the Centre County Fair has proven, after three years experience, to be an institution in which our people are truly interested. Although there has been threatening weather since last Saturday, accompanied by frequent driz- zles that were enough to discourage the management, they have every reason to be gratified with the attendance and the exhibits this year. Monday and Tues day the grounds were hardly fit for the numerons attractions to get in shape, and many that the entire week would be a continuance of a disagreeable rain period. Wednesday the skies cleared at frequent periods, and the a slight breeze which set in made a de cided change. Nevertheless a great many people came to town all parts of the county, while from town everybody took advantage to attend. feared morning from almost The general plan of the ground has not materially changed. At the upper eulrance you come upon the mid heen way, where all the amusement stands, ferris wheel, refreshnient stands are located and make lively section to visit.

The list of these was not completed on Wednesday in time for us to get a copy, the same will be given in our next issue. Wedpesday afternoon the track was most too heavy for racing and the speed contests had to be postponed. WEDDING CEREMONY. One of the most interesting features of | Wednesday's program was the public wedding ceremony on the platform, aside of the judges’ stand. To witness this happy nuptial event, there were several thousand people on hand. Promptly at the appointed hour, 3 pm, the bride and groom were driven ina cab to the scene. Crowds swarmed about the conveyance to see these parties who soon emerged and as the band played the familiar wedding strains they marched to the elevated stand, | where they were greeted with a round of applause from all sides. They took their position facing the grand stand, being Cyrus A. Schoar and Miss Susan J. Martin, both of Moshannon, and were attired in raiment appropriate for such a festive occasion. The bride modestly faced the immense audience, any apparent uneasiness, Eroom without while the stood by her side the picture of confidence and manly dignity The ceremony was performed by Justice of the Peace J. 8. Smith, of Ssow Shoe. He promptly proceeded with his part of the program in a manner that indi cated that he was no novice in this kind of business. In a clear firm voice he re. cited the solemnity of the matrimonial vow as well as the meaning of wedlock. Then he called upon them to take the vow 10 which each responded without any hesitation and they forthwith were provounced man and wife until death shall them part.
